Rename an installation of Windows?

Here's a little quiz for the PC gurus. Recently, I suffered the "Bootmgr is missing" for reasons unclear to me (the only thing I can think of is I accidentally deleted something in the root directory of C:, but I don't remember having gone on a deleting spree).
Thankfully, I had my Windows 7 boot disk handy, and after finally listening to the freaking computer, it recovered my Windows 7 installation, and then, on the next restart, was able to repair it.
However, it called the installation "Windows 7 Recovery Installation". I only have one installation of an OS installed on my hard discs (not counting virtual machines), and I was left wondering if I could just rename it to "Windows 7 Professional" or "Windows 7". Is that possible, and, of course, is it safe?
It's by no means important, just something I would like to change, but I can live without it being changed.

I can't for the life of me remember how right now.
I think I used a 3rd-party app to do it last time. I'll poke around and see if I can remember what it was, assuming somebody else doesn't come up with it first.
click Change Settings button -> edit the name where it says NAME on the left.

I noticed that in display mode, that I have one entry in the bootloader (sounds right)--though curiously, the default entry is described as being booted out of D :. Underneath it, though, the first and only entry acknowledges the drive as C:| and the boothloader path as the right location on C:.
Strange, in any case. I guess that's normal?
